Proximal Nerve Complexes. A Computational Topology Approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 This article introduces a theory of proximal nerve complexes and nerve spokes, restricted to the triangulation of finite regions in the Euclidean plane. A nerve complex is a collection of filled triangles with a common vertex, covering a finite region of the plane. Structures called $k$-spokes, $k\geq 1$, are a natural extension of nerve complexes.

Amyloid proteotoxicity initiates an inflammatory response blocked by cannabinoids. [PDF]
, 2016 The beta amyloid (Aβ) and other aggregating proteins in the brain increase with age and are frequently found within neurons. The mechanistic relationship between intracellular amyloid, aging and neurodegeneration is not, however, well understood.

A low cost, high fidelity nerve block model
Critical Ultrasound Journal, 2014 BackgroundWe have constructed a simple, inexpensive simulation model for ultrasound guided nerve blocks. To date there are no low cost, high fidelity models for nerve block simulations.

Alternating current and infrared produce an onset-free reversible nerve block
Neurophotonics, 2014 . Nerve block can eliminate spasms and chronic pain. Kilohertz frequency alternating current (KHFAC) produces a safe and reversible nerve block. However, KHFAC-induced nerve block is associated with an undesirable onset response. Optical inhibition using
